Abstract
Description
- This divisional patent application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/066,665, filed Feb. 25, 2005.
- The present invention relates in general to manufacturing patterned media and, in particular, to an improved system, method, and apparatus for patterned media disk nanoimprinting and a related disk drive architecture for head positioning.
- In future hard disk drives, it is expected that all magnetic media having an areal density greater than 1 Tb/in2 will require patterned media. Known manufacturing processes for making patterned media rely on fabrication of a single, complete master that is replicated many times to create whole replicas. Upon deposition of magnetic material, the replicas become actual patterned media disks that are used in reading and writing information. Typically, the replication process relies on “nanoimprinting” or stamping. The patterned surface on the master is used to imprint on a polymer on an imprinted substrate. The pattern created in the polymer is then permanently transferred to the imprinted substrate using conventional manufacturing processes such as wet and dry etching, metal lift-off, etc. It is also common to form several whole stampers from the single master and create many replicas from each stamper.
- Due to the small feature sizes (smaller than 25 nm), the masters will likely have to be fabricated by using high resolution e-beam lithography. E-beam lithography is a very precise but slow process that may require hundreds of hours to generate masters. This represents a major portion of the time and cost needed to create masters. In addition, mastering processes that require this much time may suffer from overall, e-beam system instability over the long periods of time and may therefore be unmanufacturable even if the cost associated with lengthy mastering times was affordable. Thus, an improved solution for manufacturing patterned media would be desirable.
- Embodiments of a system, method, and apparatus for forming a patterned media disk and a related disk drive architecture for head positioning are disclosed. The present invention creates a full area patterned media master by (1) first creating a sub-master in the form of “pie slice” that contains approximately 10% of the area of the full patterned master using, for example, e-beam lithography or other high resolution methods (e.g., x-ray lithography, ion beam lithography, etc.); (2) stamping (e.g., nanoimprinting) the full area of the master with the sub-master and repeating the nanoimprinting in a circumferential direction around the master; and (3) providing a hard disk drive system architecture for correcting head positioning errors that may result from this process.
- For example, one embodiment of the head positioning correction process measures and stores positioning errors between each two adjacent sections and uses those values for correction of the head position. Significantly, the process also creates an additional dedicated servo (head-positioning) field for each sub-section. These additional fields are used to correct remaining radial position shifts that are smaller than, for example, one-half data track. In addition, the full area master created by this process may be used to create several stampers for creating actual patterned media disks.
- In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a method of patterned media disk nanoimprinting and a related disk drive architecture for head positioning. The method comprises creating a portion of a sub-master pattern; developing resist and using other manufacturing processes to create a sub-master based on the portion of the sub-master pattern, the sub-master comprising only a section of a full area master; using the sub-master as a pattern to form all sections of the full area master; transferring the pattern of the full area master into a master substrate; and providing a dedicated servo section that is used for correction of radial track positioning errors between sections.
- The foregoing and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, in view of the following detailed description of the present invention, taken in conjunction with the appended claims and the accompanying drawings.
- So that the manner in which the features and advantages of the invention, as well as others which will become apparent are attained and can be understood in more detail, more particular description of the invention briefly summarized above may be had by reference to the embodiment thereof which is illustrated in the appended drawings, which drawings form a part of this specification.

FIG. 5 is a high level flow diagram of one embodiment of a method constructed in accordance with the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , one embodiment of the present invention is depicted. Initially, one section of asub-master pattern 21 is created using a high resolution technique. Following e-beam lithography, development of resist and other manufacturing processes (such as metal lift-off, etching, etc.) are used to create thesub-master 23. Thesub-master 23 is used to create afull area master 25. Thesub-master 23 is stamped or nanoimprinted repeatedly into polymer on the surface of the master substrate a number of times (e.g., for “M” sections) in a circumferential direction around the master substrate. Following nanoimprinting of the polymer, the pattern imprinted in the polymer is transferred into the master substrate using, for example, dry etching, wet etching, or metal lift-off. Eachsubsection 27 contains an equal number ofservo sectors 29 that are used for head positioning anddata sectors 31 that contain patterned media bits. At the beginning of eachsubsection 27 there is a “dedicated servo”sector 33 that is used for correction of radial track positioning errors smaller than one-half track width. - The total time to pattern an
entire master 25 with e-beam lithography is given by Ttotal. If the full area of themaster 25 is divided intoM subsections 27, and if the time required for stamping or nanoimprinting onesection 27 is Ts, the time needed to create thefull area master 25 is described by the following equation. The present invention significantly improves total mastering time by a factor of M. For example:
new time=T total /M+M*Ts, where T s <<T total (T s is negligible when compared to T total). -
FIG. 2 describes one embodiment of an approach to nanoimprinting of themaster 25, including: (a) nanoimprinting even-numberedsections 23 a first and then transferring the nanoimprinted polymer pattern into the substrate by using dry or wet etching or metal lift-off; and (b) nanoimprinting odd-numberedsections 23 b into polymer and transferring their pattern into the substrate. This approach minimizes the errors that may result due to flow of the nanoimprinting polymer at the boundary of the sub-master, or at the boundary of one stamped subsection. - The right side of
FIG. 1 illustrates the layout of each of the subsections. Eachnanoimprinted subsection 27 has: (a)data fields 31 that contain patterned media bits; (b) servo or head positioning fields 29 (labeled “s1”) that are similar in nature to present-day servo fields (i.e., contain gain control, servo synchronization mark, cylinder code, and fine positioning or positioning error signal information); (c) special servo fields 33 (labeled s2) that are used to correct head positioning errors smaller than one-half data track. Each of the subsections may be offset from its ideal position in a radial direction (i.e., relative to an axis of rotation of the disk), an angular direction (i.e., displaced along the circular track), or rotationally tilted. All these errors must be measured and corrected by the proposed servo architecture. - When a full area master is created by nanoimprinting subsection master M times in the circumferential direction, the cylinder code values in each of the s, sectors will not be lined up along the circular track due to radial direction errors (Δr) and tilt errors (Δγ). In this case, a memory table is formed (stored in the disk drive ROM) with dimensions of M rows by N columns. Each row j represents radial errors present on the j-th subsection at N point from ID to OD (practical value for N is of the order of magnitude of about 10). These radial errors are all measured relative to the same base values, which may be defined by the first nanoimprinted subsection. After all these values are stored in the table, it is easy to keep the cylinder position in each of the subsections accurate by simply correcting by the error value stored in the table. However, after correcting for the cylinder value, there is a remainder error that is smaller than one-half track, which is the reason for the additional servo field s2.
- In addition to the radial error it is also possible to introduce angular error (Δφ) along the circular direction. Angular error introduces servo sampling synchronization problems. Currently, the window for detecting SAM (characteristic signature of servo field that turns on servo every sample) is approximately 2% of one sampling time. For example, if the track pitch is 25 nm, the estimated number of sectors required is about 500 to 1000 for a one-inch drive. Assuming a one-inch drive and 3600 rpm, the maximum value for angular error along the circular direction is: 360/1000*0.02=26 arc sec. This value may be reasonably achieved by good mechanical positioning of the sub-master during subsection nanoimprinting and should not represent a difficulty.
-
FIG. 3 shows that the maximum allowed radial positioning error during mastering is defined by the disk area real estate lost at the far ends of the ID and OD due to the mismatch. Before cylinders stop matching each other due to the radial shift, there may be a significant loss of real estate. If acceptable real estate loss is approximately 0.2% (delta_rmax=½×(rOD−rID)×0.002, which is approximately 6 microns in the case of one-inch disks. This value also may be controlled by careful positioning of the submaster during nanoimprinting of subsections. -
FIG. 4 illustrates asubsection 27 that was imprinted with built-in “tilt error” as shown byarrow 34. Without any correction schemes, the position shift per sector caused by tilt should be less than 5 to 10% of the track. This value may be reasonable enough and may be achieved by precise mechanical positioning of the sub-master. Alternatively, the value of tilt needs to be measured for each subsector. This may be done with a single measurement per subsector if radial shift is already measured. Once tilt is known, a table is created with target PES values for N zones (approximately 10) inside each subsector. This table requires approximately 16×10×1000=160 kbits). The feed-forward scheme with closed loop servo would be used, which is similar to RRO correction today. - The one-half track error may be corrected in several ways. The s2 field measures the actual position of the head and provides this correction. Since practically useful values for M (the number of sections) are 5 to 10, and since the maximum allowed overhead for s2 fields is 5% to 10%, s2 fields are kept in each subsection shorter than approximately 1% of the revolution, or 1% of the circumference of the circular track.
- There are several practical approaches for s2 fields. A correction table may be constructed containing one-half track or less shift values for each subsector divided into 20 radial sub-zones (i.e., this table is M subsection×20). Following the rule of thumb that a settling time for a control system with bandwidth BW is 1/BW, the estimated settling time for a 3600 rpm patterned media disk is: 0.01×60/3600=166 μs, which would require at least 6 KHz of bandwidth. This bandwidth is achievable using a dual-stage actuator employing a MEMS microactuator, and by using higher sampling frequency inside S2 fields.
- Referring now to
FIG. 5 , the present invention also comprises a method of forming a patterned media disk and a related disk drive architecture for head positioning. After starting atblock 501, one embodiment of the method comprises creating a portion of a sub-master pattern, as illustrated atblock 503. As depicted atblock 505, resist is developed and other manufacturing processes are used to create a sub-master based on the portion of the sub-master pattern, the sub-master comprising only a section of a full area master. As illustrated atblock 507, the sub-master is used as a pattern to form all sections of the full area master, and the pattern of the full area master is transferred into a master substrate (block 509), which can then be used to form one or more replicas of the master substrate. In addition, a dedicated servo section is provided (block 511) that is used for correction of track positioning errors between sections. The method ends as depicted atblock 513. - At
block 507, the method may further comprise repeatedly using the sub-master on a surface of the master substrate by rotating the sub-master in a circumferential direction around an axis of the master substrate and by nanoimprinting the sub-master on the master substrate. In addition, the method may further require each section to contain an equal number of servo sectors that are used for head positioning and data sectors that contain patterned media bits, locating the dedicated servo sections at a beginning of each section, and providing one dedicated servo section for each section to define a plurality of dedicated servo sections that correct radial, angular, and rotational track positioning errors that are smaller than one-half track width. - In another embodiment, the method may further comprise defining even-numbered and odd-numbered sections, and nanoimprinting even-numbered sections first and then transferring a nanoimprinted polymer pattern into the master substrate by etching or metal lift-off, and nanoimprinting odd-numbered sections into polymer and transferring their pattern into the master substrate; and further comprising forming a memory table stored in a ROM in a disk drive for errors present from an inner diameter to an outer diameter of a disk in the disk drive, the errors being measured relative to base values, which may be defined by a first nanoimprinted section, to keep a cylinder position in each section accurate by correcting with an error value stored in the memory table.
- Referring now to
FIG. 6 , the present invention also comprises adisk drive 601 comprising a patternedmedia disk 603 having a plurality ofdisparate sections 605 arranged circumferentially around arotational axis 607 of the patternedmedia disk 603. Anactuator 609 having ahead 611 is used for reading data from and/or writing data to the patternedmedia disk 603. - As described above, the
disk drive 601 also has a disk drive architecture for head positioning having a dedicated servo section that is used for correction of track positioning errors betweensections 605. Eachsection 605 may contain an equal number of servo sectors for head positioning and data sectors that contain patterned media bits, and the dedicated servo section may be located at a beginning of each section to define a plurality of dedicated servo sections that correct radial, angular, and rotational track positioning errors that are smaller than one-half track width. The disk drive may further comprise a memory table stored in aROM 613 in the disk drive for errors present from an inner diameter to an outer diameter of the patterned media disk, the errors being measured relative to base values to keep a cylinder position in each section accurate by correcting with an error value stored in the memory table. - While the invention has been shown or described in only some of its forms, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that it is not so limited, but is susceptible to various changes without departing from the scope of the invention.
